Love...the Good, The Bad, and all in between

So he said between his smile and his regrets, "Don't let this be over." But I put my hand over his mouth and said, "It already is."

I want to hear you say you'll miss me like I'll miss you. and I can’t pretend that I’m happy when you’re miles away. I just need someone to tell me that I’m not alone

He was different. He never said "I want to be friends." After he said goodbye, it was like he knew, he knew that he had broken my heart bad enough when he saw my tears fall. He knew me well enough that he just knew what to say. And when he spoke, he looked me in the eyes and said, "I hope you talk to me again someday."

He never noticed her. To him, she was like every other face in the crowd. Until the day she picked her head up and blew him away with her smile.

Time never had a chance to heal your heart Just a number always counting down to a new start

I need someone who can keep up with me. I want someone aggressive, who pushes me to my breaking point where I just wanna scream. Someone who will tell me that i'm not always right, and that sometimes I have to apologize for what I do wrong. I need someone who's gonna set me straight because no one has ever cared enough about me to try.

wait for the person who pursues you, the one who will make an ordinary moment seem magical, the kind of person who brings out the best in you & makes you want to be a better person ; wait for the person who will be your best friend , the only person who will drop everything to be with you at any time no matter what the circumstances, for the person who makes you smile like no one else & when they smile you know they need you. wait for the person who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats & a tee shirt, but appreciates it when you get dressed up for them. & most of all, wait for the person who will put you up at the center of their universe, because that's where you belong.

I said, "I don't believe in love." So you said, "Believe in me."

The more you get to know a person, the more attractive they become to you. Because everything beautiful you see on the inside of them, suddenly you're able to see on the outside of them too.

She's not gonna forget about you. You mattered to her.

The greatest feeling in the world is to be around someone who wants to hold you, to kiss your forehead, and to be around you. Who wants to call you at night, to see you smile. But, what's better than that is finding someone that does it all, because he wants to see you happy.

Sometimes you build up these walls, you build & you build & you think they`re so strong, but then someone can come along & tip them over with only his fingers, or the weight of his breath..

Just once I want someone to look at me and right away think Im beautiful. Not after they get to know me, or after they see inside my soul just me.and not lie to me like my friends do when they tell me im beautiful to make me happy. I want to walk into a room and light it up.

-I'm sure we all can relate, male and female.-

It was hard to let go. 'Cause when I was around him, I was just me. I didn't have to be anyone but myself. People like that are hard to find. And I think once we lose those people, we were afraid we'd never find them again.

And yet, it didn't feel the way it used too. I didn't get the feeling that I used to. Nothing is the same anymore. The looks aren't the same, the bond is not the same. Nothing is the same. I know we've fought to stay strong for a while too. Rather there was a knot in my stomach. You looked in my eyes as we sat across from each other, and I held it as long as I could handle this time. I was the first to look away, but sometimes I feel that being strong would mean letting go. So maybe one day, we won't pretend anymore. So maybe one day it will be okay again. That's all I want. I don't care what it takes. I want it to be okay again.

getting through life & growing up, you tend to get hurt & get your heart crushed. but what you have to realize is that if God had intended you two to be together, He will find a way. but if you two don't end up together... that just means there is someone out there who is more perfect waiting for you.

All I wanna be is the girl falling asleep in your arms not caring about anything else in the world except how I feel right there when I'm with you.

Move on. He's just a chapter in the past. Don't close the book, just turn the page


She isn't perfect. Neither is he. But together They just may be.

I just want to get inside your head, so i can see how you feel about me. It's all i wonder about lately. All i want to know is what you see.

there's not much more to discuss- there's you & me but there's no us.

i guess you're proof that when you finally let go of the past, someone better comes along.

He smiles, and then looks away; you wonder just maybe that smile meant something he couldn't say.

Tell me, do you think I'm falling for him? All he means to me is a really good friend, someone who can make me laugh, make me smile; someone I can joke around with, someone who I can be myself with. All he is to me is the person who gave me back my smile.

you can tell who really loves you by the look in their eyes

but when i look into your eyes, i'm not sure friendship is all i see you can't tell me we're just friends. because friends don't look at each other the way you look at me. And she looks him in the eyes & tries so hard to hide how she feels. we're not friends. friends don't look at each other quite the way we do.

I wonder if anyone else sees it, and if they do, what do they think?

his friends were jealous of him. he's got her and they don't. he could do anything with her but he chose to stay away from her. not get too attached. they didn't understand why why he pushed her away and didn't give her everything she wanted she was worth everything in the world but he didn't treat her like that. they didn't understand. no one did.

You can see that he thinks about her, but he doesn't make a move. He thinks she's too beautiful for him, & she thinks he's too amazing for her.

He isnt my boyfriend, but i love his hugs, his smile, his advice, his love, his kindness and the times we laugh together.

i think that everybody just needs someone to believe in them. someone to think theyre beautiful, someone to think theyre amazing, you need that person, and i can be that for you.

And every one of our attempted hang outs ends with me in your arms and our lips pressed together, every one one of our attempts at being friendly, ends with us realizing that we can't be just friends

I'm not the type of girl that you're probably used to. I laugh when things aren't funny, and I don't cry in public. I say what I think without even thinking. I hide a lot of my current problems, but I'm not afraid to let people know my imperfect past. I take everything the wrong way; some may say i have a dirty mind. I dance to background music. I admit when I'm wrong. You'll never see me give up on something I believe in. Because I am who I am, and you can't say you've ever met another like me.

you can't find the right person if you never let go of the wrong one

Isnt it funny how everyone says we look so good together we just have that chemistry

someday when we're at the same place when we're on the same road when it's okay to hold my hand without feeling lost without all the excuses when it's just because you love me, you let me, you need me, then maybe.

You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time. You tend to give more than take in relationships. You need your space & privacy. You don't like to be smothered. You're secretly hoping your partner will change for you. You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.

cause in a heartbeat, we changed so fast. and now the stars are aligning, and the moon is setting and i will be the best damn constellation that's in your sky tonight.

i've accepted that we can't be, but i've also accepted that you're going to be that one person i carry with me for the rest of my life. the one that is always going to make my heart jump and my stomach tie up in knots no matter how happy i am otherwise and no matter how long it's been. the one i will always secretly wish had asked me to the dance even though i am more than happy with the guy who did. do you realize how incredibly difficult it is to accept both those things at once? it's torture...

pain is knowing you are right for each other, just not right now

they say we stand a little too close, stare a little bit too long, they probably think we are in love but who knows, maybe we are

I know Im not easy to understand
I know I keep a lot inside, & I know
I'm not the easiest person to read
But thats okay, you know. Cause
Even though theres a lot about me
You'll never know, theres a hell alot
More of me you can learn to love

I'm not afraid to piss you off anymore.
You mean the world to me
& you know that,
But in order for this to
Work we've got to be honest
With each other, no
Matter what that means.

The problem :
She won`t let him in.
She has built these complex walls
Around her heart for so many years now
That it`s too exausting for him
To try to break them down.
She`s been hurt so badly in the past
That she won`t let him in that easily.
He`ll have to work for it...
But if he does, & he gets in ;
He`ll be suprised at how
Amazing she really is
& how much she has been
Put through in her life
& still be a strong person.


Today I heard a song on the radio from a few years before.
A love song.
I didn't think anything of it those few years ago,
But now -- I actually listen to the lyrics,
And all I think about is YOU.

I'm not the kind of girl
Who thinks a guy is the answer to everything,
I'm just so damn tired of being alone.

How can he be sorry that he hurt you,
If he doesnt even know he did?
You're keeping your feelings locked up inside
& not telling him how you truly feel

It's hard to be happy
In the arms of the one you love..
When you know
They are wishing
You were someone else

You're the first boy
To get HIM off my mind

Developing a new emotion
For someone new is easy
The hard part is getting rid
Of the old emotion
You had for someone ELSE

Why are you always on the verge of goodbye
Before I'll show you how I really feel inside?

A clean break is easier than a messy one
You can reset it and it heals
And you move on
If you leave things messy...
Or things dont get put right
Then it hurts... forever

Everynight I pray that she realizes
How lucky she is to have you

They go dancing
Around and around
Without any cares
And her very first love
Is holding her close
And for a moment
She isnt scared...

We are the perfect couple, we're just not in the perfect situation

If u see me walking with some else, Its not because I love him Its because youre not brave enough to walk beside me So if I fall in love with someone else, Its not because I wanted to Its because you weren't there to catch me

Do you remember that night… That night when all of a sudden, Out of the blue, you and I Became absolutely crazy about each other?

If you really love me
---PROVE IT---

I want so bad for you to hold me in your arms and tell me that you love me, but when you do- I think youre lying.

Ask him if he ever
Still thinks about me
He'll say
"Every once in a while"

Dont waste your heart
On a wild thing

Once upon a time I was falling in love
Now Im only falling apart

I want you I need you
But I aint ever going to love you
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad

This may not last forever
But it sure feels right
For right now

How do you teach your soul
That its time
To fall in love again?

you need to stop
breaking my heart

i know that it wil
work out and get easier
but it sucks that
it may not work out
the way i want it to

I used to be scared
Of letting someone in
But it gets so lonely
Being on my own
With no one to talk to
And no one to hold me
I'm not always strong
I need you here

it's only love if you are loved in return

Im scared that there are people out there who want to be with me, but I wont ever be able to be with them because Im too busy wondering why I cant be with you

It’s much easier to turn a friendship into love…
Than love into a friendship

You just don't understand do you? Every time i talk to you it
gets worse. The little butterflies, my stomach dropping, the
spinning, the feeling like everything is all right in the
world. These never stop. They keep coming back

The best boyfriend you'll have isn't the best looking,
the funniest, or the richest.
It's the one that makes you feel gorgeous, hilarious, and like a million dollars.
He makes sure you know he loves you.

fall in love or fall in hate
get inspired or be depressed
ace a test or flunk a class
make babies or make art
speak the truth or lie & cheat
dance on tables or sit in the corner
life is divine chaos. embrace it
forgive yourself. breathe.
& enjoy the ride.

She blows big bubbles with her gum
and laughs when they pop all over her pretty face.
She dances in her Victoria's Secret underwear.
She takes crazy pictures and
posts them on her Myspace.
And to her friends.. she's a star.
Because she realized that life is way too short
to be crying over the asshole that broke her heart

love can make the summer fly,
or make a night seem like a lifetime

Everybody wants to be the sun that lights up your life.
But I'd rather be the moon, so I can shine on you during
your darkest hour of the darkest day when your sun isn't around.

Nothing is as big as your first love.

"Don’t be afraid." I murmured.
"We belong together."
I was abruptly overwhelmed by the truth of my own words.
This moment was so perfect, so right, there was no way to doubt it,
his arms wrapped around me, holding me against him...
it felt like every nerve ending in my body was a live wire.
"Forever." He agreed.
- Breaking Dawn

maybe we're moving too fast; i don't know,
but for the first time in my life, i really don't care.

t's kinda like..
the difference between putting your hand on your knee,
and him putting his hand on your knee.
When you touch your knee, you don't feel it,
nothing happens, its just there.
But when he has his hand there,
you feel everything,
every move of his palm, every squeeze of his hand,
and every brush of his finger.
And you feel it right down to your toes
and up to your neck and everything in your body tingles,
but its the most wonderful thing ever.
Every move he makes makes a difference.

So you're not my type. I think I like that idea.
Because my type usually breaks my heart

He says the cutest things to put the pink in my cheeks.
Cute guys are amazing. Not the super sexy guys who are too shallow even for themselves. But the ones who are sort of clumsy and dorky, and are always sweet. They are the ones worth keeping.

I was really terrified of you.
You actually made me feel something.

yeah, some things in this
world might have passed me by
& i might have missed a chance
or two. but you won't find
any regret in these eyes.

those nights you can't sleep
it might be because you're awake
in someone else's dreams.

you have me wrapped around your finger
i know i can live without you
but when i talk to you, you do it again
you say all the right things
i'm so vulnerable

I'm scared and I don't say that often.
But I can't stand the fact that you could hurt me.
I don't like being this close, but I love it.
You're my everything and I hate it.
Because you have everything you need to break me.
I'm not saying you will, but I'm scared.
Because most guys are all the same.
And they all eventually break you.

It doesn't matter how long you've known him. All that matters
is that, he's had you smiling from day one.

For a kiss to be really good,
you want it to mean something.
You want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head,
so that when your lips finally touch you feel it everywhere.
A kiss so hot & so deep you never want to come up for air.
You can't cheat your first kiss.
Trust me, You don't want to.
Cause when you find that right person for a first kiss,
it's everything...

I don’t know what’s in store for us,
I don’t know how long this will last, and I don’t know if we're meant to be.
But I do know that I love being in your arms,
I know that I love being by your side, and I know that
I love you.

She's got the stars in her pocket
and the moon on a string.

I've got a mind boggling,
sense numbing, heart pounding,
stomach flipping, take my breath away,
head over heels, knee shaking,
day dreaming... crush on you.

There’s a line that warns
That you’re close to the edge
Now I’m falling head over heels

i don't want him to be perfect
i just want him to accept me, want me
make fun of me, kiss me, hold me
and make me watch him play whatever he plays

Smell the summer breeze,
feel the fresh air sweep you away;
forget about tomorrow, yesterday, & today.

Laugh until your body aches. Cry until you start to shake. Live like the world is yours to take. Love as though your heart won’t break.

there comes a time in every life
when we find the heart we're looking for

i guess i'm just not the girl for you.
you need a girl who's happy and perky
all the time. maybe a girl who has had
part of her brain removed and think she's
a bunny. and you can go off and be
bunnies together....asshole.

the longest period of time,
is waiting for something or someone
you truly want.

Its the waiting that’s hard &&
not knowing whether you're
waiting for anything at all

so did you flirt with me, just for fun? or was there some truth to it, because with miscommunications like these, i seem to be the only one with something to lose.

the truth is-- she misses him; even though he was never really hers.

it's like half of me really wants to be with him &&
the other half just wants to be over him

he made her believe she was worth more,
but he ended up being just another boy
who she had to try and get over....

Perfect would be, cuddled up on the couch, with you watching Disney movies. & you telling me that you'll always be my prince charming.

and maybe one day you'll come up and grab my hand and realize that that's all i ever wanted.
Come after me when I run away,
call me back when I hang up on you,
tell me I'm perfect when I'm mad at myself,
& don't let me slip away when I leave.

Disregard the harsh words coming from my tongue. I never meant to speak a word of this, but you promised you wouldn't let me fall. We both go back on our word sometimes

Even though I smirk and say, "Oh well, his loss..." deep down inside, I know it's really mine.

one day your name just didn't make me smile.

and your slow shaking fingertips show that your scared like me so, lets pretend were alone

I have to admit
I’m just a fool for you
and you know it
I hope it makes you happy
knowing you could have me
any day of the week

I still find each day too short for
all the thoughts I want to think,
all the walks I want to take,
all the books I want to read,
& all the friends I want to see.

I don’t care about your past.
All i wanna know is if there’s a place for me in your future.
-- S w e e t H o m e A l a b a m a

If i promise not to cry, can you do me a favor?
For the first time in your life, look me in the eyes & tell me exactly how you feel.

Do I have to spell it out to you
or scream it in your face?
Oh, the chemistry between us could destroy this place.

Cause even if it breaks your heart
To be just friends
If you really care about someone
You'll take the hit

People say you have at least
5 dreams per night.
That's like 30 billions dreams a year.
So at least one of those
Has to be about me.

someday your gonna look back on me n be like
damn that girl really did love me.
and you'll totally regret it.

poor girl didnt realize til it was to late.
she was just his rebound.

I can look at him, like him, and want him... but I can’t have him...

any guy can love a thousand girls,
but only a real guy can love
a girl in a thousand ways.

& I'm sitting here,
rehearsing all the things
I'll never say.

I dont want a star or the moon...
i just want someone to lay under them with.

If he's made you smile from day one, don't ever let him go.

if you think he is the one you want
& the one you love
& the one that can make you happy,
then no matter how long you 've liked him
& no matter what people say you should keep trying & waiting..

a little jealousy in a relationship is healthy,
it's good to know that somebody is afraid to lose you

2 People who have liked each other, loved each other,
Broken up with each other, fought with each other,
And still loved each other after it all -
Deserve to be together . No matter what anyone says.

Ever hang out with the guy you love? And you realize you're half naked and wonder how the hell that happened? Yeah its okay to be a whore when it comes to one guy..

she's scared cause suddenly it's truly
clear how much he really means to her

it`s the kind of crush where i
just finished putting up my away
message && about to walk out then
door when he signs on && suddenly
whatever i was gonna do..doesn`t
matter talking to him does

behind her smile
are stories you may
never understand.

Always remember
when a guy sweeps
you off your feet
hes in the perfect position
to drop you on your ass

&& when I first met you, I never would have imagined I would have such strong feelings for you.

Some of the quotes on this page are from http://www.xanga.com/quotesforyou_xoxo

I don't even know what I want. maybe I just want to be someone's everything.


you always said you'd end up alone never find a man of your own that's not true high and low you searched everywhere but along it's been right there in front of you for all this time was the man you'd always wanted to find. and I still think it's me I still think it's me I still believe one day you will see that we can't fight it or even deny it I need every breath you breathe I still think it's me I still think it's me

this is about, love. the one and only thing in the world that truly matters. love makes the world go round, I’ve lost the ability to love, or at least I fear I have. it’s hard for me to even believe in love, but I know, or hope at least, that one day, I will fall in love again.

one day we'll look back on this, laugh nervously, and quickly change the subject.

don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.

are you even listening when I talk to you? do you even care what I’m going through? your eyes stare and they're staring right through me you're right there but it's like you never knew me


you know how much I care about you? because I do. but there's somebody else, and she's a part of my history that came before you, and I’ve been lying to myself about the way that I feel about her...and I need to see her tonight. 'cause I feel like she's slipping away. I’m sorry

I think I like this kid;
Way more then I thought I did.

the hardest guy to get over is the one you never had


Tonight I said goodbye,
but I should have said more.

Don't fight your feelings sweetie, it makes life complicated.

I’d hate to prove you wrong;
but like I’ve said before...
'When he's not near the girl he's lovin',
he's lovin' the girl he's near.

She doesnt have to pretend to like the same stuff he does because she really does.

He gets stuff out of her in two minutes that would normally take two hours.

he doesnt have to pretend to like the same stuff he does because she really does.

He gets stuff out of her in two minutes that would normally take two hours.

She just completely trusts him

They were meant to be

most of the quotes in blue were from http://www.xanga.com/BanBrokenHearts

things wouldn't be so confused and I wouldn't feel so used. but you always really knew - I just want to be with you

you can't force something to go one way when it meant to go another

I’m sure if I saw you somewhere ten years down the road, my heart would still speed up a bit.

I want someone to call when I get bored, to sneak me junk food when I’m sick, to understand that I mean the opposite of what I say, someone that will know how to cheer me up, that won't have overwhelming expectations of me, that will feel comfortable around my family, just someone that truly enjoys my company as much as I enjoy theirs.

just because it didn’t last forever, doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth your while.

pain is knowing you are right for each other, just not right now.

have you ever been with someone when your hearts were beating in the same rhythm? that's true love. a man and a woman with their hearts beating together are truly lucky, and then you've really been in love. you might see that person once a month, once a year, one a lifetime, but you have the guarantee your lives are going to be in rhythm, that's all you need

he doesn't care what he has to do, if your unhappy he'll make you smile

when he was with you, he was really with you. he looked you straight in the eye and listened as if you were the only person in the world.

when I find happiness, don't you dare decide that you love me

I like it now, the way we are. we've come a long way, you and me.

there is a secret about human love that is commonly overlooked: receiving it is much more scary and threatening than giving it. how many times in your life have you been unable to let in someone's love or even pushed it away? much as we proclaim the wish to be truly loved, we are often afraid of that, and so find it difficult to open to love or let it all the way in.



i am not "single"...
I am Romantically Challenged

Second Chances

Be with who makes you happy, even if it means you're always running back

I guess I never let you go Because somewhere in the back of my mind I never lost hope that we would Get our second chance

You've got this spell on her that she just can't seem to break. She is so strong and in an instant, you could break her down. She knows you won't but you could and that scares her. She has realized she has made some mistakes in the past and when you're up to your old tricks, she's tempted to make them again. But yet, coming back to you seems to be her favorite habit.

cause even if it breaks your heart to be just friends, If you really care about someone, you’ll take the hit.

getting over you was the hardest thing i've ever had to do... and i dont think i could do it again.

lets start over. lets forget our problems. lets put our past behind us & never bring it up again. we cant live or love in the past. lets throw all our problems away. ill give you my trust if you give me yours. lets fall in love all over again.

every time i lose hope for you, there you are again. always there.

what's worse than heartbreak? knowing you'd give him another chance.

Never will you fall in love the same way twice

There's a difference between letting go
And pretending you've forgotten. (also in Life & Being Yourself)

You can't keep running away.
From what you're trying to find. (also in Life & Being Yourself)

True love
W.A.I.T.S

Sometimes you need a second chance, `cause maybe the first time you just werent ready for what was about to happen..

++ maybe its because part of me still believes i have a chance. im still hanging on, hoping, praying that one day it will come like a slap in the face that i am the girl for you and we were meant to be

Always fight
Until you can't fight anymore
And then...
Be fought for (also in Life & Being Yourself)

Sometimes the feelings we start to have again are the same feelings that never really went away

you can try to hide your feelings, but they won't disappear just like that, & if they don't go away, then there must mean there's a reason why they're there..

Sometimes you need a second chance, `cause maybe the first time you just werent ready for what was about to happen..

I want to be there for you
I do.
But I cant keep doing this.
I cant keep being your second choice
When you are my first.

The true test of love:
No matter how long
You two go without talking,
He`ll always find a way
Back into your heart.
No matter how hard you try
To forget him, you can`t.
It`s the little things that mean the most,
But break your heart all the same.
It`s those times when a song come on the radio
& immediately you cry, missing him,
Wanting him, needing him.

I want someone who wont need a second chance

Life & Being Yourself

You get in the biggest fights with the people you care about the most Because those are the realationships You're willing to fight for

&& There's that one moment, the one moment when you've figured out how much you've really let go,
how much you've grown. It takes you back a step and makes you think. It’s that moment when you can't look back, yet you can't seem to look too far into the future. It’s that moment when you realize you're living for yourself and no one else.

Have you ever heard a song from so long ago with so many memories tied to it that it made you cry? and didn't you wish that you could go back in time when everything was simpler and carefree? Those are the songs that are the soundtracks of our lives..the ones that bring back our childhoods, best friends, first love, first broken heart, and the memories.

what do you do when you really dont know what to do?

if you can make someone smile, just with a story or a joke, you're doing pretty good. if you can light up a face, simply by walking in the room, you've got talent.

Time never had a chance to heal your heart Just a number always counting down to a new start

Life is the ability to feel so happy, you think your insides are going to explode. It's being so upset or disappointed, you feel as if your stomach just dropped ten feet out of place. It's running so hard, you can barely breathe. It's the feeling of panic when you know you've been caught doing something wrong. It's having that sudden rush before you kiss someone you care about. It's opening your eyes and feeling them sting because you spent the whole night crying. It's letting people go because new ones come in, and all the while realizing that life doesn't have a purpose unless you let it

She has future plans and dreams at night. When they tell her life is hard, she says "that's alright."

If we all threw our problems in a pile & saw everyone else`s ; we`d grab ours back.

sometimes we just need to get out, to get away & forget everything, in order to realize that what we have really isnt that bad

sometimes you need to step outside, get some air, and remind yourself of who you are and where you want to be.

because you're young, you're torn between a world of hate and a world of dreams. so much to lose, so much to gain, so much to fight for, so much to change.

she's tough. she tries to hide it. she's difficult. but if you make the effort, she's worth it she's worth the effort.

What you see is only half of what I am. I have a hundred different faces, a million different personalities. Only a part of me is what I show you. I display a fraction of my true self. Everything is just a facade. It’s not the truth of me. You don’t know me. You never will.

Imagine how many stories are hidden under just one smile

We live the life of an unfinished novel, still waiting to be written. Depending on how long we live, the longer the chapters. Depending on how interesting we are, the more we appeal to others. We're often judged by our covers. Sometimes, some people decide to just quit reading us. We're just forgotten until someone finds us. Our characters can develop throughout the novel, but our chapters can never be edited.

they say time heals everything, but i'm still waiting.

Sometimes you build up these walls, you build & you build & you think they`re so strong, but then someone can come along & tip them over with only his fingers, or the weight of his breath..

Like branches of a tree, we grow in different directions Yet our roots remain as one. Each of our lives will always be a special part of the others

There are just certain things in life that are better off unknown. Things you wish you never asked, never saw, never heard, & sometimes never even felt.

Bottom line, even if you see them coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. The big moments are gonna come, you can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts, that's when you find out who you really are.

The days will always be brighter because he existed. The nights will always be darker because he’s gone. And no matter what people say about grief and about time healing all wounds, the truth is: there are certain sorrows that never fade away until the heart stops beating and the last breath is taken away.

:::those two quotes touched me a lot...loosing my Dad still is difficult, but these quotes help:::

i don't know where i'm going with my life, but i hope it's somewhere wonderful.

The worst battle is between what you know and how you feel.

Take chances, a lot of them. Cause honestly, no matter where you end up & with who, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are, you learn & grow with each choice you make, everything is worth it. Say how you feel.. Always. be you, & be okay with it.

it's amazing how you can keep so much hurt bottled up inside of you and walk around, and no one has any idea.

Awkward moments define me. I'd sleep all day if I could. I lack the capability to keep my mouth closed. Yeah, everyone has bad days, I just have more frequent ones. If you don't like me, don't act like you do, it really won't offend me. I`ve made mistakes. I`ve let people take advantage of me, and I accepted way less than I deserve. But I`ve learned from my bad choices & even though there are some things I can never get back & people who will never be sorry, I`ll know better next time & I won`t settle for anything less than I deserve.

And in the end I might be smiling, but that doesn't mean that I'm okay.

i have l e a r n e d that while those who speak about one's miseries usually hurt, those who keep silent hurt more

when i cry at night, the only thing i can think to myself about is how i can seem so perfectly fine in the morning. why do i smile like nothing is wrong? and how does not one single person notice that i'm not okay?

I've learned a lot. I've learned that everything does happen for a reason. I've learned that everyone I've met has helped me to grow & learn in some way, whether they've been there as support or to make my life a living hell; it still helped me learn. I've learned to just accept the things that are given to me in life & not question things too much. I've learned not to take things too seriously because it just stresses a person out too much, & that, like many other things will give you cancer! I've learned to accept certain things, suck it up, kept my head up, & continued on with life as if nothing happened, like it didn't bother me at all. I learned that I had to change that sentence because if you pretend that nothing happened, you will never learn from your mistakes. I've learned that you have to make mistakes in order to learn from them. I've learned that you can't depend on anyone else but yourself, so in the end all you really have is yourself. I know that whatever doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger.

I might seem like the cheerful, dramatic, average teenager on the outside; but on the inside, I'm slowly dying, and no one notices what's happening to me.

The things about life that I've learned is that you're going to get hurt. You're going to have emotional nights and cry yourself to sleep for hours. You're going to suffer some kind of heartbreak, some kind of loss. But you will also have those moments where you heal. Those moments are the best. You feel like you smile for the first time again. You feel like you're alive again. Life just kind of restarts.

Hold on girls, just be strong, things can still be right, even if they feel wrong.

You've got to tell yourself the truth before you tell anyone else.

why be concerned with things you have no control over? what good is it to worry when you never really know what's going to happen, tomorrow is just another day. you'll find your way & you'll be okay.

I'm not really who I thought I was, or who I thought I'd be


all she wants is a hint of hope

Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.

I remember when I used to be the happiest, loudest, spunkiest person alive. Nothing could get me down for very long. I smiled all the time and laughed nonstop. I still see glimpses of that girl sometimes, but not much. I miss her.

I know that there are some things you just can't change.
I know that there are some situations where apologies hold no bearings.
I know that hurt feelings build walls.
I know that some people connect once & are bonded for a lifetime.
I know that in a different time & place we were those people.
I know that being "friends again" can be more difficult than not speaking at all.
I know that twists of fate bring people together & sometimes
"everything happens for a reason " breaks them apart.
I know that I'll never forget you, for you'll always have a place in my heart.

At the end of the day, you either focus on what seperates you... or what holds you together

Ive changed. Hard to imagine isnt it? Im different now. I dont cry. I dont smile. I changed my hair too. Do you like it? I do. And maybe it hurts being this numb. But then again you dont feel anything. Nothing at all. Except at night sometimes, when I begin to realize that Im completely alone.

Just know that it gets hard sometimes. The nights when you just don't want to try anymore. The lonely days you spend looking out of your window. Those moments you have where everything seems to be falling down. |But remember: every minute that passes by, you have a chance to make it better. make life amazing.

If you're feeling frightened about what comes next, don't. Embrace the uncertainty. Allow it to lead you places. Be brave as it challenges you to exercise both your heart & your mind as you create your own path towards happiness, don't waste time with regret. Spin wildly into your next action. Enjoy the present, each moment, as it comes ; cause you'll never get another one quite like it. & if you should ever look up, & find yourself lost, simply take a breath & start over. Retrace your steps & go back to the purest place in your heart..where your hope lives. You'll find your way again.

Maybe I need someone to talk to, maybe I'm the lost girl who everyone sees as the girl who has things in order, who has their whole life ahead of them. Maybe I'm really not that girl, maybe I'm the girl that is crying out for help and bleeds from the heart. The girl who has unshed tears and hides her emotions, maybe because I'm the girl who has been hurt so much to know that very few people in your life, you'll actually be able to trust. Maybe I'm the girl who has finally realized the world spends too much time looking on the outside, ignoring the inside where the real you is. So the world could never truly understand. Yeah...I'm that girl.

When someone seems down, go out of your way and talk to them, really try and help them out. Or if they want to talk to you, take every word seriously and listen. You never know if theyre planning for that day to be their last. But you being there for them, could extend that day, to a fulfilled lifetime

Be kind to everyone, you may not be able to save a person, but at least you weren't one of the people who didn't try.

it happens to everyone as they grow up... you find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that the people you've known forever don't see things the way you do. and so you keep the memories, but you find yourself moving

it's hard to believe it when i say, "...i know how you're feeling" but sometimes people really do.

there are two kinds of secrets: those we keep from others & those we hide from ourselves.

i think that everybody just needs someone to believe in them. someone to think theyre beautiful, someone to think theyre amazing, you need that person, and i can be that for you.

have faith that things work for the best.. that whatever sent us off in different directions is the very same thing that will bring us back together.

She will smile that smile and she will laugh that laugh She will look at you and say With a perfectly straight face that everything is fine. But in her heart; in her soul and in her head. It's not. Nothing is, but that doesn't matter. Because she's going to suck it up and hide it all Because she doesn't want to burden any one else with her problems and her fears; she's done listening to liars who say they care.

There are some people in life that make you laugh a little louder, smile a little bigger, and just live a little better.

you cannot allow your fears to turn you into an asshole, not when it comes to the people who really love you, the people that need you.

right now i'm young and i'm just trying to figure out what i want.

She's completely Unexplainable You think she's A good girl But when you Get to know her She's everything She's crazy She's funny She's honest & You'll never Know what she Will do next.

You shouldn't feel guilty for remembering...
The past made you who you are.
You need to remember.
It's a requirement

Smile when it hurts,
That way, people won`t worry.

ts okay. Its okay to want someone you cant have. Its okay to keep friendships when you dont want them, or want something more. Its okay to cry when you're hurt, & its okay to stay mad at someone who hurt you. Believe it or not, its always gonna be okay. Thats just how it works. Sometimes, things dont always work out the way you want them to, & a lot of times, it seems like they never will. But its okay, thats how lifes suppose to go. Its all about learning how to deal with the bumpy parts in the road & waiting til they're smooth again. Its all about forgiving & forgetting. Its all about waiting & wishing. Thats just how life is.

Don’t let anyone make you feel
Like you don’t deserve what you want

Most of the time we cant tell whats wrong with
Somebody by just looking at them. After all, they
Can look perfectly fine on the outside while their
Insides tell us a different story
Just because she doesn’t show it
Doesn’t mean she is not hurting inside

Sometimes it`s hard to look in the mirror. To see that face that everyone says is so pretty but it just looks plain to me. Sometimes it`s easier to wake up & forget your dreams cause life..you can`t do that. The easiest thing to do in life is be depressed. The hardest thing to do is to get up & say to yourself "Things will get better" even though your never convienced by that. But it helps to pretend. Sometimes I sit back & watch everyone cry out for attention, & everyone else goes "Oh they`re retarded." But I think..why go to that length to get attention? Maybe they really need it? Sometimes, I wake up in the morning & say to myself, "If I give up today, I promise I`ll always get back up tomorrow & try again." Cause sometimes trying to be a saint & sticking with the most stubborn of people, it makes it easier to look in that mirror.

She`s telling everyone lies
About how she feels inside.
She can`t stand the way things are now.
She only wants it all to change.

Smile.
Let everyone know that today
You are a lot stronger
Than you were yesterday

And they say we'll never see half as much
as they did. It's true that we never saw Vietnam
or World War Two. We didn't see our mother's cry
when John F. Kennedy died, but we've lived our
whole lives being told that we're just not good
enough. We've seen anorexia and bulimia because
skinny just isn't skinny enough. We saw Columbine
and watched the Twin Towers fall. We've seen a
lot of greed and even more hate. Our generation
fights a different kind of war but we've seen just
as much as them.. and maybe even more.

She says she's fine, but shes going insane.
She says she feels good, but she's in a lot of pain.
She says its nothing, but its really a lot.
She says she's okay, but really she's not.

I can't take it anymore.
Everyone thinks
Im indestructible,
The girl who never flinches,
The girl who always
Has a smile on her face,
The girl who's gone through nothing,
The girl who has no scars,
And I'm so tired of it.
I don't want to live behind a wall of laughter
& smiles anymore;
I want people to understand me,
I want people to understand how
Hard it is to be me sometimes
& have to deal with all this crap
& still be expected to be happy.
It's not fair; why can everyone else
Can just fall apart
But I have to keep it together?

She's a summer girl.
She likes things simple
& she hates drama.
She wishes that she could
Wear flip-flops year round
& she hates being cold.
She's moody during the winter
Cause things are usually falling apart.
But then summer comes, it always does.
& she realizes that she has true friends,
& that nothing can beat those summer days
& nights that are spent
With the waves crashing
& the sand between her toes.

You can plaster that fake smile on your face;
You can make that fake laugh
Come out of your mouth.
You can keep the tears
From running out of your eyes.
But eventually you're going to break;
Eventually you will cry,
And the hard thing is
You know its true and you cant change it

Im just going to be me, the me
When we were friends.
Really good friends and
Im kind of hoping we become
Really good friends again.
And we can act like I never
Fell in love with you

She won't tell you about her problems
Because she is too scared
To face them herself

You would never guess
A girl so happy on the outside
Is breaking down on the inside
A girl who laughs her head off
Everyday in school
You would never guess she is covering up
The million tears behind her smile

YOU WERE GIVEN THIS LIFE
BECAUSE
YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO LIVE IT

That is really important to remember. Just look at how you've overcome your obsticals, only you could've overcome them like that

Sometimes, you just need to be alone.
Sometimes, not even your best friend needs to know.
Sometimes, you need to put up the walls
So you can examine yourself in the peace & quiet.
Sometimes the loud sounds need to fade away,
Leaving only the silence & you; that's it.
I'm putting my walls back up,
Never tearing them down again or letting people through.
I should have never let you.

we often turn to music as our way out, but sometime silence could take us farther then music could ever do.

If you knew me yesterday,
Please don't think that
I'm the same person that you`re meeting today.
I have experienced more of life,
I have encountered new depths in those I love,
I have suffered and prayed...
And I'm different.

There was a girl I used to know,
But I haven't seen her in a while.
She was beautiful,
Smart, confident, free-spirited.
She could turn an uneasy silence
Into a conversation.
She could turn tears into laughter,
Her bright eyes could light up a room
& give comfort & hope.
She could make you smile
Just like that,
& she could even make you cry,
Just like that.
She felt like she could change the world,
Paint it different colors.
She could conquer anything.
She believed in fairy tales,
Dreams, & love.
Until that day,
When he took his love away from her.
Her smiled faded & turned to tears,
& now that the tears have run dry
She feels empty. lonely,
Even though she's not alone.
Her pride has faded,
Her hope seems lost.
She doubts herself,
No longer feels worthy or beautiful.
Now the silence is her own.
Her eyes have dulled,
Her laugh is forever changed.
The colors she tries to paint
Are now dried up & gray.
Her dreams have disappeared,
Her fairy tale is just a memory
That's long gone.
All cause he took his love away.
I miss that girl.
I wonder if she'll ever be the same?

There's a difference between letting go
And pretending you've forgotten.

You can't keep running away.
From what you're trying to find.

I can laugh all I want,
Inside I'm still empty

Im good at everything
Even acting
Can't you tell??

Nothing is ever
How we dream it

Always fight
Until you can't fight anymore
And then...
Be fought for

You think this is fair?
Nothing is ever fair.
Look around you-
Every person you see
Can give you 100 different reasons
Why nothing is ever fair.

we get so caught up thinking our life is so bad. Life is life, ALL OF US are constantly experiencing the good and bad...I mean if it wasn't for the bad we wouldn't be able to really appreciate the good right?

Theres always a point
In a person's life
When they dont know
What to do...
A-n-Y-m-O-r-E

You cant lose something
That you never had
To begin with...

What do you do....
When everything you have worked
So hard to forget comes right back
And slaps you across the face?

People ask me why it is so hard
For me to trust people...
I ask people why it is so hard
For them to keep promises

You have to know who you are Before you give part of yourself away.

Focus on the problem
And you get distressed
Focus on yourself
And you get depressed
Focus on God
And you get rest

Have a good cry
Wash your heart out
If you keep it inside
It will tear you apart

Everybody cries...
And everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong
If you feel like letting go
..H.O.L.D...O.N..

Time, why you punish me?
Like a wave bashing into the shore
You wash away my dreams
Time, why you walk away?
Like a friend with somewhere to go
You left me crying
Can you teach me about tommorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
Cause tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in time
Time, I don't understand

I dont know what I want and I pretend not to want the things that I know I do want. That way no one gets hurt except me. But the lines are so crossed and blurred at this point, that I really dont know what I want. I just know I want it to be easy...

I wish everyone didn't have
Such high expectations of me
Because it's bad enough I let myself down
I don't need to let everyone else down too

I used to have a handle on life
Then the damn thing broke

All you need
Is a little trust
To set you free

She finally let go of her fake smile
And the tears slowly rolled down her face
As she whispered to herself
"I dont want to be me."

I know that it will
work out and get easier
but it sucks that
it may not work out
the way I want it to

Don't ask. I don't wanna talk about it
because I don't wanna cry anymore.

They say what doesn't kill you
Will make you stronger
Well maybe some of us
Are tired of being so damn strong

I've dealt with my ghosts
And faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
Found my strength in moments of weakness
Finally at peace with myself
I've been burdened the blame
And trapped in the past for too long
I'm m.o.v.i.n.g on

Stand up where ever you are
Go to the nearest window
and yell as loud as you can
"I'm mad as hell &
I'm not going to take it anymore!"

Tonight I think I'll wish on a different star
It seems to me that obviously
My stars aren't working tonight

This is your life-
Are you who you want to be?

No matter what happens and how bad things seem today
Life does go on and it will be better tomorrow

Why blogger?

So I decided to start a blogger because I figured it is better then starting up my Xanga, as if it ever really got started. I really intend on posting some of my favorite quotes on here and maybe some of my thoughts about them so for starters...

but that summer had a way of

making her smile, making her

happier. it was sort of amazing

how for those three months,

she always believed in herself

and all that she could be.

i found that on this girl's xanga site http://www.xanga.com/BanBrokenHearts
